La traviata
Play a Supporting Role
Champion a cherished classic by supporting Sir David McVicar’s exquisite production of Verdi's opera.
First seen in 2008, La traviata returns to Scotland having travelled throughout Europe, and we invite you to become a part of bringing this tale of love, intimacy and tragedy back to the Scottish stage.
Your support will enable our highly skilled artisans to meticulously restore the sets, costumes and props, and allow a cast of top international singers to bring each character that makes this production an immersive and emotional journey back to life.
By donating today towards your favourite character, prop or music, you will play a supporting role in this beautiful story, ensuring the legacy of Violetta Valéry lives on.
